If you’re looking to add something unforgettable to your summer bucket list, here’s an experience that’s as breezy as it is beautiful — an open-air jeep tour through the historic heart of Mumbai. Organized by Khaki Tours every weekend, this night ride lets you explore the city’s colonial charm under a blanket of stars, with the cool summer breeze adding to the magic. Guided by passionate storytellers like Nayana, an art historian by day and tour guide by night, this journey through Mumbai’s iconic landmarks is an experience both locals and visitors shouldn’t miss.
A Night at Kala Ghoda: Where Stories Begin
The adventure kicks off at the atmospheric Kala Ghoda, Mumbai’s famed art district. Before the tour even begins, your guide immerses you into the hidden histories of the area. For instance, did you know the Constitution of India was drafted at the historic Wayside Inn, which once stood where today’s Punjab Grill restaurant is located? These are the kind of fascinating nuggets that pepper the entire ride.
Cruising South Bombay: A City in a New Light
Once you hop onto the stylish, open-top jeep, the real magic begins. South Mumbai — often known for its daytime buzz — transforms at night. Iconic structures like the Rajabai Clock Tower, Flora Fountain, CST Station, and many colonial-era facades shimmer under golden lights. With every turn, Nayana weaves tales of Mumbai’s layered past — from British Bombay’s grandeur to bustling bazaars and cultural revolutions — all while the sea breeze gently sweeps across your face.
